Wow 18 years later still held up extremely well. Supple and some fruit still lingering. Wish the auction had more!

Flower Day - poured off a small amount of sediment. Dark garnet core out to a mahogany tinged edge. Nose of damp earth, ripe plums, cassis, mint and cedar. Quite fruit forward on the nose with definite tertiary elements. It's in a good place right now. On the palate, it's still fresh but then the tertiary notes take over - earthy, over-ripe plums, even a touch of acetic (which isn't bad, just noticeable) along with mushroom and some date flavours. …

Decanted to remove sediment. Nose matched initial palate of plum and cherry. Secondary flavors of smoke and some mocha. Oak and 14% alcohol are not distracting. Tannins have integrated. Heavy bodied, good acidity, 10 second finish. Color is dark garnet and cloudy. Nice

Decanted 2+ hours. Chocolate and red fruit with a hint of eucalyptus. Still with some tannins but on the plateau.

The wine looks garnet colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant. It tastes like medium toast.

Nice wine. No notes last night as this was the second bottle opened. It was very much enjoyed. Would buy again.

Beautiful nose, with blackcurrants, blackberries, mint, sassafras, and chocolate; a touch of acidity, pretty black fruit flavors, a bit of vanilla and chocolate, holding well through the midpalate, with a lovely finish. Elegant, a very nice Washington cab.

Starts to open up after at least an hour or two. Decent flavor, medium body and just an ok mouthfeel. The finish is a just a little off or acidic. Not a bad wine but not what I would expect from this producer and for the money.

Really nice floral, blue/black fruit on the nose. Very full. The palate was a litte light on the mid and finish. Less than what I remeber in past bottles. This may have lost little. Nice to drink but not great.

Tight when opened with a sharp acidic spike. Settled with air to reveal black fruits and some oak. Medium bodied and tasty but not very complex.

I had been experimenting with Columbia Valley, Yakima, and Walla Walla wines due to all the attention and notoriety. I opened this with Scott and Lynn T from Colorado during a visit. I believe they may have gifted to us. It was very red as compared to purple in color. It seemed a bit fluid and not very thick. Normally I expect a simple flat wine when I see that. This was special. It had an aspeny smell to it. …

Better then I expected. A little too cold when it was opened and a little harsh on the tannins. As it warmed up and opened up became a very nice wine that was consumed with slow cooked short ribs. Complemented the food quite nicely.

Black fruit is a little over the top but has a fine lingering finish. Needs a little more time (or maybe decanting?) to smoothe the tannins.

Good purple color. Nose of light red berries and toasty oak. The palate has a hint of light fruit but becomes hollow quickly. The finish is disjointed and acidic. VA? Also considering it is 13.7% it seems the fruit is too weak to contain the Alc. Overall it drinks like a $10 wine not $40.
